who's whose?

Really, this is quite simple.

Who's stands for "who is" (or who has)  so try replacing with who is..
Who's going to the pub? = Who is going to the pub?
Who's not finished? = Who is (or has) not finished
the person who's lost a wallet = who has lost


Whose is a possessive adjective so must be followed by a noun.
the person whose wallet was lost
the girl whose boyfriend cheated on her




Test yourself
  1. Guess …… coming to dinner?
  2. …… phone is this?
  3. Don't forget …… paying.
  4. Ask him …… work this is.
  5. …… daddy is he?
  6. …… the daddy?
  7. …… better at cards?
